Inhaltsangabe

but I am madness and madness is me it holds you captive like a hapless bunny caught in the headlights. In this moving collection of poems, award-winning writer Sandy Jeffs shares her journey through madness over four decades, drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll&;s Alice in Wonderland and the motley gathering of characters at the Mad Hatter&;s tea party. Both delightful and insightful, playful and serious, witty and whimsical, The Mad Poet&;s Tea Party provides a devastating commentary on how our society treats those with mental illness from the perspective of someone who has experienced all its interventions. It captures in poetic form the enigmas and contradiction in madness.
